We've been going the whole family to Callahan's Karate for several years now, and I highly recommend it for kids, teens and adults. Top notch school, great instructors and impressive teaching methods during normal times and even more so during Covid. If you want to learn Kenpo Karate while also building a character and learning valuable values then that's the place for you.

I've had the pleasure of being a student at Callahan's karate for eleven years. Ever since I was seven it's been a pivotal influence in my life. I've learned respect, self control, discipline and how to defend myself. The head instructors at Callahan's are not only extremely knowledgeable and dedicated, but they are also the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met. No matter whether you're three or 80, there is always a place for you at Callahan's karate. The community they've fostered is diverse and helpful, I've met some of my best friends there. Overall, there is no place I could possibly

My daughter, son and I have been students at Callahan's Karate for over a decade now, and we love it! The Callahans run a very welcoming and family-centered karate studio, and provide an opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to learn karate, grow as people and become their best selves. The karate curriculum is broad and professionally taught, and all the instructors are encouraging and friendly. Not only do I recommend this studio to any beginning, or experienced, martial artist, but I can't see myself doing karate anywhere else!

I was first introduced to Callahan’s Karate when a former student recommended it for my son. He began taking lessons in 2012 at the age of 5 and he hasn't looked back. He loves it here! I have watched him grow in confidence, learn self-control and develop valuable life skills. This is a great place for kids to have fun and learn at the same time!

I started karate when I was in first grade because a friend of mine had told me how much fun he was having. I was a very rambunctious child, and loved the kicking and punching aspect of martial arts, but I have found that my time at Callahan's Karate is more than just the physical exercise. I would not be the same person I am today without the critical life lessons I have learned in the studio from the wonderfully patient and inspirational instructors who are flexible and willing to accommodate to each individual student. Now I am an instructor, and am proud to be able to work with these kids,

We have been going to Callahan's for over two years. My 9 year old boy is often reluctant to try new things, as he is his own worst critic. He was also notorious for not wanting to continue his activities. He is now about to be a blue belt (graduation on Saturday). Callahan's gets credit for the enormous boost in his confidence - in and outside of karate. The entire staff conducts classes with a clear message and focus on character building, strength and kindness. They consistently create a safe place for kids to try new things and remarkably, set each child up for success. I have never met a student

I have known Callahan's Karate Studio since 2000. This is a great place to learn Martial Arts and I am extremely fortunate to have an opportunity to train there. This is by far the best Martial Arts school I have ever trained in. The instructors are highly knowledgable, innovative, and passionate about both the art of Kenpo and the art of teaching. My fellow students are of all ages, and I have never before seen such warm, friendly, and helpful group of people. I highly recommend Callahan's Kenpo to anyone looking to join themselves and/or to have their kids study Martial Arts!

I started at this studio in 1999 at the age of 4 and am still a student now at the age of 22. All of the instructors are absolutely phenomenal and have shaped my life in ways I cannot explain. I would not be the person that I am today without the Callahans, Mr. G, and Mr. Clements. They cultivate a family atmosphere and make sure that every student feels welcome and important. I cannot recommend this studio enough to a parent who is looking to get their child involved in martial arts or who is looking for physical activity themselves. As a student you will learn so much more than self defense but
